The Analysis & Skills Mentoring 1 has four prerequisites in the Basic Level courses. Instructional mentoring is provided during two individual consultation appointments. This course is in a different format than most of our other courses. Although this is a 26-week course, it means you have up to six months from the start date to submit all the assignments, and the private one-on-one consultations. Many students complete this course in three months or less.
